You’re serving full-time. You’re pouring yourself out. And yet, you still feel like it’s not enough.
Many missionaries live with an unnamed pressure, a constant inner drive to do more, be more, prove more. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Curt Thompson helps us uncover the role that shame plays in shaping our stories and how it may be calling the shots in your life and ministry without you even knowing it.
Could shame be behind your exhaustion, disconnection, or sense of not-enoughness?
Discover why shame shows up so shockingly early in all of our lives, how it disconnects us, and what it looks like to become whole again, from the inside out. This episode is an invitation to name what’s really going on beneath the surface and begin a path toward healing, hope, and wholeness.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why shame starts early, before we even have words
- How shame can shape your identity and calling without you realizing it
- What happens when disintegration replaces connection in missionary life
- Why the antidote to shame isn’t advice, but presence
- How to take your first steps toward healing and wholeness
